Is found in the final parable Balaam Uttered!
Much of what he said before it has been Fulfilled!

The last parable Balaam issued in Numbers concerning future events in the Middle East has to do with the final battle of Armageddon at the close of the Age of the Gentiles.
I do not believe the navies of the world powers will actively engage until the very last battle of Armageddon, which will be one single horrific battle that will end at Christ’s Second Advent.
Numbers 24:23-25 – And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
[24] And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever. [25] And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
The ships of Russia, America, Great Britain, and France will literally blanket the Mediterranean Sea during the tribulation period, but will not actively join in the final war between Islam and Israel until the final battle of it, which will be the great battle of Armageddon.
The Russians have been setting these Syrian ports up for some time now, as the old February 25, 2006 Blog indicates.
Supplement to Archive Prophecy Update Numbers 27 and 28

As I detailed in Archive Prophecy Update Numbers 27 and 28, the many descendants of Magog, at the time of Ezekiel’s writings, covered that part of the globe we now identify as Russia. Russian will be a part of the many nations that come down to attack Israel at the final battle
of Armageddon, but it will not be a part of the attack of 10 Arab nations that come to attack the Israelis some three and one-half years before Armageddon. Russia, the European Union, China, Eurasia, and Africa will be invited by the Assyrian Antichrist to be active partners in the final great battle of Armageddon against Israel in the Negev. The vast world oil reserves of the Middle East will be too much of a temptation for them to ignore.
Please take a look in our Archives at Prophecy Updates 27 and 28, which were issued in the Spring of 2001.
The following excusive article, from the DEBKAfile Report, is another indicator of Russia’s desire to receive a piece of the pie that eventually is cut out of
the Middle East oil fields.

DEBKAfile Exclusive: Russian missile cruiser Moskva – on a NATO exercise – docked at Syrian Latakia port on Feb. 21
February 22, 2006, 5:22 PM (GMT+02:00)
A task force led by the Moskva and the Azov landing ship became the first Russian naval force in a decade to call at a Syrian port.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report: The force sailed out of its home port of Sevastopol on the Black Sea, on Feb. 5, to join a NATO-led anti-terrorist operation in the Mediterranean for a combined three-month drill focusing on combating
the smuggling of weapons of mass destruction, illegal weapons trade and migration.
The drill is named The Active Endeavors Operation. NATO leaders and US army chiefs were keen enough on Russian participation for NATO secretary general Jaap de Hoop Scheffer to promise the gesture of the first visit by an alliance chief aboard the Moskva. However, neither he nor the Americans taking part in the exercise had any idea that the Russian naval force intended to break away from the exercise long enough to put in at a Syrian port – a call which Syrian president Bashar Assad took as a gesture of support from Moscow.
The visit underlined the Kremlin’s plan to play a larger part in the military affairs of the Middle East, largely by making friendly overtures to America’s adversaries. President Vladimir Putin’s invitation to discuss arms sales in Moscow with an invited Hamas delegation was part of this picture.
The Moskva missile cruiser was built in 1982 to hunt down and destroy aircraft carriers. It underwent major repairs which were completed in 2000.
It carries a 510-man crew and its main armament is the Bazalt cruise missile, which weighs 6 tons, has a speed of Mach 2.5 and range of 550 km. The 186.5-meter vessel can carry either a nuclear warhead or a 500-kilo conventional one.
Its S300f anti air system stretches over the Moskva an aerial umbrella with a 75 kilometer radius.
It is also equipped to fight submarines. On Feb. 15, in the course of the NATO drill, the Moskva captured the British destroyer the Nottingham when it played the part of the enemy. The Russian cruiser also seized the Spanish frigate Navarro.

Russia builds key naval HQ in Syria: Missile presence worries Israel
DEBKAfile Special Report
July 21, 2009, 4:24 PM (GMT+02:00)
A high-ranking Russian navy source reported July 21 that the Soviet-era naval maintenance base near Tartus in Syria is to be expanded and modernized to become “fully operational.” DEBKAfile’s military sources report that Russian is building the facility up as its main sea base for operations in four seas: The Atlantic and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean and Red Seas. The upgrade of Russian port facilities at Tartus, its only foothold in the Mediterranean, will automatically enhance Moscow’s strategic interests in Syria and Bashar Assad’s regime.
The Russian source said that the 50 naval personnel and three berthing floats currently deployed at Tartus with accommodation for up a dozen warships will be beefed up with a new berthing float delivered by two tugboats from the Black Sea Fleet. DEBKAfile’s sources disclose that those warships will include large vessels such as the nuclear-armed guided missile cruiser Peter the Great and the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, which called in at Tartus in January.
In September 2008, DEBKAfile first disclosed that the Russian Navy commander Adm.
Vladimir Vysotsky and his Syrian counterpart Gen. Taleb al-Barri, had signed contracts for converting Tartus into one of Russia’s most highly-developed naval infrastructures outside its territory.
Its warships based there will capable of reaching the Red Sea through the Suez Canal and the Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar in a matter of days.
Israel is deeply concerned, according to our military sources, by the sophisticated air-defense S-300PMU-2 and Iskander-E missile systems the Russians propose to hand Syria on the pretext of installing a shield to defend the facility against air or missile attack.
Moscow claims they will remain under the control of Russian crews but, according to information reaching Israel, they will be quietly and gradually handed over to the Syrian army; the Russian teams are in fact instructors.
Russia justifies this, according to DEBKAfile’s Moscow sources, by the deployment of the highly sophisticated American FBX-T missile-interception radar systems at the Israeli Negev base of Nevatim.
Furthermore, Moscow will have its rejoinder for the disputed US deployment of missile interceptors in Eastern Europe.
As we reported last September, the Russian Black Sea fleet and new Mediterranean-based warships will coordinate their operations under a single command.
They are designed as counter-deployments to the post-Georgian-war US and NATO naval presence in the Black Sea as well as its fleets in other parts of the Mediterranean including Israel’s shores.
